Ian Beeby A FORMER scoutmaster jailed for abusing young boys is back behind bars after attempting to hide computer equipment from police. In March 2016 Ian Beeby, formerly of Edditch Grove, Bolton, was jailed for five years after admitting abusing four boys in the 1980s, including one occasion on a Lake District camping trip. Beeby, who admitted sexually assaulting the cub scouts and downloading indecent images of children, told one child: “It’s the sort of thing that scouts do.” In 2017 he had an extra two years and eight months added to his sentence after another victim, who he groomed and befriended as he walked past his home on the way to school, read about the previous conviction in the Bolton News and came forward.
